A Windows background app that automatically strips tracking parameters from URLs on the clipboard.
Another URL Cleaner runs in the system tray and monitors your clipboard. When you copy a URL, it instantly removes tracking parameters and replaces the clipboard contents with the cleaned URL — no manual steps needed.
- 60+ tracking parameters stripped by default (Google Analytics, Facebook, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and more)
- Per-site rules with path cleaning, slug removal, fragment stripping, and more
- Configurable via
config.json— changes are picked up automatically, no restart needed - Pause cleaning from the tray menu — temporarily disables URL cleaning without exiting
- Open config location from the tray menu — opens Explorer with the config file selected
- Convert paths — optionally converts Windows backslash paths to forward slashes, toggled from the tray menu
- Start with Windows option in the tray menu

This project has applied for free code signing through SignPath Foundation, but does not yet meet the community adoption requirements. Until then, Windows will show a SmartScreen warning when you run the executable.
You can help! Star the repo, fork it, or contribute — growing the community brings us closer to getting a trusted code signing certificate.
